seasonal music
Sep. 8th, 2005 10:28 pmIn winter: classical, children's songs, Christmas songs. (As well as drinking songs.)
In spring: anything that takes your mind away from the horrible weather outside. (Especially drinking songs.)
In summer: rock'n'roll'n'blues'n'jazz!, political (read: revolutionary) songs, reggae, punk (...I don't know why), and! Drinking songs!
In autumn: heavy metal and folk songs of any and every kind. Surprisingly, no drinking songs.
On and only on very long car rides: pop. (Pop songs of over ten years of age earn a very special stress on the word only.) Possibly drinking songs but, for the love of all that is holy, never actual drinking.
All through the year: pretty songs with flutes and an elysian sound (which is totally not genre but belongs here anyway), folk songs (viva la repetition), selected jazz pieces (through the year we'll be picky). ...And drinking songs? ([edit] To each their own, what she said.)
In my books, never: rap. ([edit] Techno isn't in my vocabulary, and neither is ska, apparently.)
(Anything to add?)
